Having had the opportunity to try these recently from the Bodensee area. I've found that these drinks although clear distillates are bold enough to hold their own with medium bodied cigars namely Padrons and Vuelta Abajo growns. Grappa is distillate from grape skins. Williams are made from...

Just did a layover at Schipol(sp)Airport. Being a common stopover hub for most Euro trips. I thought this would be informative for the lucky. Unless you get the urge to board one of those interesting buses. :whistling: "Fly Buy Bye" Shops opened at 6:30am instead of the advertised 6:00am...

Had a mix of Marsala, Table Red, and Remy VSOP with this cigar. Yeah, it took that long. This one came from a split, run by BD. Construction was marred by a split wrapper at the foot. Otherwise it would have been very well made and consistent in guage. The split was corrected a while ago...

I so peruse through my local wine store. I find a Clocktower Port for 9.99 on the aisle display. I take it home pour it out for an evening with a 98 Funda. Hoping for some berries and liquorice of a non vintage port. The port pours light. Edges of amber shows through. Red Pink colors show...

Got this in a split with sir smokes a lot. Poured an already opened Taylor Fladgate 1999 LBV. Construction was slightly below average for the typical regular production. I've always had some sort of wrapper issue with one out of 10 vitolas. The wrapper was a stained oak brown. It has a...

I know what the smokes are. But can someone tell me (pm) Who they are from? I need more red bands.

Just received an MRN book. Finally! I smoke em young. Many smoke well in the last couple of years. Some smoke well right off the plane. I like tasty cigars just as much as the next guy. But, is it worth the time and effort to store these 3 to 8 years as suggested by MRN? Bang for the...

May your cigar be safe. May fellow cigar CPers and future CPers have a prosperous New Year. It's a Siglo VI today.

So my humis are getting a little too full. I've got some seriously crappy sticks that I couldn't even give away with a straight face. It would seem like a cruel trick to anybody. Should I: -Return to retailer (two years ago) -Donate them anonymously (less guilt) -Throw them in the fireplace...

Has anyone tried a RyJ Ex 3 and found it VERY flat and smelling like burnt newspapers. Construction was well done. Hard when squeezed. Color was brown-grey. Smoke was creamy and volminuous. With an aroma of a newpaper fire. But the taste is just unwelcomed paper smells and foul. Severe...
